Psychical Research.
RESULTS OF BOSTON sOCIETY's INVESTIGATION OF
GHOSTS AND sUPERsrITIONs.
At meeting OF the Boston society for Psychical
Research, Tuesday evening. Prof. H. p. Bowditch
reported for the committee on thought transfer
ence. The results Of the experiments which have
been tried have been negative. By this he eyi-
IDENTIFY meant that nothing had been either proved
or disproved in regard to the possibility OF such
transference. It, however, had been pretty clearly
shown that the attitude Of mind which goes with
a puSpOse Of Immediate inquiry is not favorable
condition for such transference. A quiescent,
neutral, or preoccupied condition seems to be es-
DR.. Minot reported for the committee on experl-
mental psychology. The committee had sent by
mail inquiries directed to large number or in
tellgent persons to learn what superstition each
might be willing to confess to on four different
matters, VIZ: The presence OF ID persons at din
ner table; the starting upon Journey or BEGIN
ming any important business on Friday; the see
Ing OF new moon over the left shoulder; and as to
the willingness OF the person inquired OF to rent
house reputed to be haunted In case another sub
stantaily as good and as conveniently situated
Responses were received from 800 men and 1el
women. From the men In regard 10 the first three
questions, about one-tenth Of the total number of
answers received were affirmative OF some degree
OF superstition, and about one-fifth of the women
responding 50 answered. As to the haunred-hOus
question, less than half the men, but fully two
thirds OF the women, expressed a dread OF taking
a house OF such repute. In regard to the three
questions a larger number both or men and women
expressed some confidence In the new moon omen
than in either the fatal 13 or the unucky Friday,
showing, as the report said, greater sway on the
part OF superstition, purely pagan, than in the
others which are or Christian origin.
Prof. Royce said that no haunted houses or
ghosts had been found, but certain Instances OF
impressions as to events happening at distance
to friends OF the persons impressed were recited
and the statements declared to be trustworthy.
But In these the form or face OF distant persons APP
peared to have been impressed as OF one seen In a
dream, not as OF a moving specter.
The substance or DR.. Billiards. report on medi-
umistic phenomena was that no results OF value to
science can be gained by further investigations
through prOfessi0nal-paid "mediums," as they will
not subject themselves TO conditions adequate for
scientific tests II n0n-prOfeSsional mediums can
be found who will consent to the proper cOndi.
